22% of Democrats Want Clinton to Drop Out; 22% Say Obama Should Withdraw


Twenty-two percent (22%) of Democratic voters nationwide say that Hillary Clinton should drop out of the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination. However, the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that an identical number—22%--say that Barack Obama should drop out.

A solid majority of Democrats, 62%, aren’t ready for either candidate to leave the race. Nationally, Clinton and Obama are running essentially even among Likely Democratic Primary Voters in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.

Forty-seven percent (47%) of Obama supporters think Clinton should drop out. Thirty-eight percent (38%) of Clinton supporters say Obama should drop out. Those who remain undecided are a bit more likely to suggest that Obama should leave. But, it’s worth noting that less than half of Obama supporters say Clinton should withdraw, less than half of Clinton supporters say Obama should withdraw, and less than half of undecided voters say either should withdraw at this time.

1. Let's just have a cage fight. nt

2. With any luck neither will emerge from the cage.

3. Rasmussen?

Really? Rasmussen? Boy the end of HRC's campaign is closer than I thought it was.

10. That's funny

Sen Obama supporters sure don't have a problem with Ras when the numbers look good for Sen Obama. Maybe you have't been here long enough to notice that. And you may want to check Ras's accuracy in the last 2004 and 2006 elections.

4. that's pretty funny

7. who ARE these morons?

just wondering. At least we know they are the over age of "cell phone" users.

[CreekDog]

8. And 22% then are tenuously tethered to reality

:eyes:

[Alexander]

9. Yeah, and 4 in 10 who don't like Obama also don't like interracial dating.

What does that tell you?

[leftynyc]

12. What are you trying to say? (eom)

[Alexander]

13. Nothing apart from what's obvious.

[leftynyc]

15. I'm trying to figure out just how many

people you are calling racists. Is it 40% of the population or 40% of the people who don't like Obama (and the other 60% have other reasons for not liking him).

[Alexander]

16. The Pew poll says 4 in 10 anti-Obama white Dems oppose interracial dating; 1 in 4 think he's Muslim.

By the way, I didn't use the word racist at all. You did. I think that speaks for itself.

[leftynyc]

18. Don't play dumb or coy with me

(alhtough you could very well be both) I asked if they were polling democrats or the general population. Are you dense?

Your implication was that the same people who oppose interracial dating (and I have a hard time believing we're speaking of democrats here) also oppose Sen Obama. Who do you think you're kidding. And if you're calling me a racist, fuck off.

[Alexander]

19. Don't get paranoid or delusional with me.

(although you could very well be both)

They're polling white Democrats. Didn't you check the link, or were you too busy thinking of insults?

"Are you dense?"

I'm not the one with the reading problem.

"Your implication was that the same people who oppose interracial dating (and I have a hard time believing we're speaking of democrats here) also oppose Sen Obama."

Yes, and if you checked the Pew poll that I linked to, you'd realize it's obvious. Many white Democrats oppose Obama for whatever reason. But 4 in 10 - almost half - also are opposed to interracial dating, and 1 in 4 think he's a Muslim. Are you trying to tell me these people are comfortable around black people? :eyes:

"And if you're calling me a racist, fuck off."

At no point did I say or imply that you are a racist. Apparently you need to play the victim card so badly that you have convinced yourself that's what I've done. Fuck off yourself.

11. Its perfectly reasonable for Clinton to drop out now, Obama is the winner.

[donheld]

14. AGirlfriend this was posted before

It was crap then it's crap now.

[BearSquirrel2]

17. Except ...

Except, Obama's numerical advantage of delegates makes it extremely unlikely that Clinton can win. So, Hillary should drop out.

[cerebellum]

20. Rasmussen is always out of synch with polling concensus

They have McCain over Obama by 10% when NBC And Gallup have them statistically tied. Rasmussen is just weird.
